How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

How about that. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

NEW: A regional FEMA chief of staff took Elon Musk's Fork in the Road offer. He has proof of receipt. But they didn't honor it. Instead, they fired him 13 days later. Now, this retired Navy captain is speaking out. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-doge-...

So much family values

Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

The ‘real’ reason they are gutting the IRS…👇 Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?!

In case you needed more evidence Trump is not serious about lowering costs:   "The worsening outbreak comes as President Trump's administration makes sweeping cuts government staffing and research funding that threatens the country's ability to respond to bird flu..." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Everything is a lie

Headlines are now just batshit bonkers madlibs: [problematic/violent group or person] to [verb] at [once prestigious post or organization] consequence.net/2025/02/j6-c...

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

Holy shit. I thought today was Thursday.

Elon, community noted *and* ratioed.

I remember that, yeah.

FYI, Hakeem Jeffries just went on the number one podcast in the country, the @meidastouch.com podcast, and spoke about what Democrats are doing and what we have to do to fight the Trump Regime. None of the people attacking him bothered to watch.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

This is your government now

gl to the rural trump voters who get their medications and social security checks by mail

And to think just four days ago, after lecturing the Europeans on free speech, JD Vance was in my Twitter replies lecturing me about free speech too. Oh the shamelessness! This is who they are:

Elon’s lie about the astronauts being stranded in space for political reasons exposed, leading Elon to get community noted on his own website

No notes

MISSISSIPPI’s legislature being declared “not a public body” reminds us of how the Tennessee leg won’t tell us how much taxpayer money Speaker Sexton is blowing on troopers despite our FOIA request: “Not a governmental agency for the purposes of the public records act” 🤔

The country singer started the “Imagination Library” nearly 30 years ago to encourage early literacy. www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton...

We now have a government staffed completely by a 4 Chan message board.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This is really something

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

“For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Tump has done nothing that would not be on a Russian wish list: -Ukraine invaded Russia. Support Putin. -A de facto Russian agent head of Intelligence. -Kills USAID, the largest competitor against Russia for foreign influence -A drunk cutting defense budget. That's a few. It's a long list.

When MAGA watches Saving Private Ryan, are they rooting for the Germans?

This will especially hurt rural folks

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I can’t stop thinking about these two headlines
